Held guilty of breaching a code that doesn’t exist: Mahua Moitra

Trinamool leader Mahua Moitra was expelled from the Lok Sabha for “unethical conduct” following a debate over the cash-for-query report. The Ethics Committee recommended her expulsion for sharing parliamentary credentials and accepting bribes. Moitra denied the allegations and criticized the committee’s decision. The opposition members requested that Moitra be allowed to speak, while the Congress leaders argued for more time to study the committee’s report. The Trinamool Congress emphasized the need for Moitra to express her views. The committee’s reliance on an affidavit by Darshan Hiranandani was questioned by the opposition.
